Shen Xinyi seemed to have long expected that she would be named by the Queen Mother, and now her face was calm, she raised her head, her face was still a little sickly weak.
"The concubine doesn't quite understand what the queen mother said." Shen Xinyi's gaze swept across the queen mother and the emperor, and stayed on the latter for too long.
Then she turned her gaze away again. Her present appearance is quite different from the past. In the past, Shen Xinyi was arrogant and reckless, but now she is indifferent.
The kind of indifference that puts oneself out of things, the indifference of not feeling other people.
Such Shen Xinyi made the other concubines in the harem feel strange, as if they had never seen through this person.
I thought that the current harem is the most harmonious harem, without intrigue, but without the empress dowager's coercion, many things have been exposed.
From Concubine Ning being startled and lifted up by the black dog, to Concubine Ning's stable wife being replaced, almost giving birth, and then Concubine An again.
Then there is the current Concubine Liang, but judging from what the Empress Dowager said, what Concubine Liang did and said seems to be her own fault
Shen Xinyi and Concubine Shen were also implicated.
In this seemingly peaceful harem, there are no more than ten concubines in the harem, and two of them already have problems.
And through the recent incidents, it is not difficult to see that the cause of everything is the emperor's heir in the belly of the three concubines.
Different from her random guesses because of unknown people, Tang Lihua smiled lightly and turned to Shen Xinyi, "You don't know, but the Shen family behind you doesn't know either?"
Originally indifferent Shen Xinyi, when the Queen Mother mentioned Shen's family, her pupils constricted, she suddenly looked at the Queen Mother, and seeing the clear expression on the Queen Mother's face, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Why is Concubine Shen so surprised? Is it because the Ai family knows this is too unbelievable? Also, your Shen family is so daring, and your actions are so hidden. It should be surprising that the Ai family knew about it."
Shen Xinyi's face turned pale in an instant, originally because of her weak body, there was not much blood on her face, but now it has faded completely.
Unlike Tang Lihua who held everything in his hands, all the people present, except Zhou Cheng, who was helping Tang Lihua with affairs, had vague guesses in their hearts, and everyone else was shocked.
Even the emperor's expression changed slightly.
You must know that Tang Lihua's current situation is not just a matter of the harem, if it involves the Shen family, it is a matter of the previous dynasty.
Nothing about the previous affairs should be underestimated.
In the Shen family, Shen Xinyi's father, Shen Yu, was the prime minister, and the prime minister let his daughter kill the emperor's heir in the harem. What this meant was not easy to explain.
"I don't know, the Queen Mother has listened to others' slander. My Shen family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and I have never violated the rules. These emperors have seen them all. If the Queen Mother deliberately framed someone because of some others, it will be decided." The sin of the Shen family, my concubine..."
Shen Xinyi's voice froze for a moment when she said this, she paused, looked at the emperor, met those deep eyes, and continued, "The concubine is willing to die to show her ambition, the Shen family has been loyal and good throughout the generations, please the emperor clearly observe."
"Zhongliang, what a loyal minister of all dynasties, why does a loyal minister keep writing letters to the traitor King Huai, and secretly operate to send money and food to King Huai. What a loyal minister, it turns out that the Ai family has little talent and learning. In the past, "loyal minister" 'I misunderstood the word." Tang Lihua laughed mockingly.
This is really a thunderbolt, splitting the people here to death.
King Huai, the traitor King Huai, is an emergency now. For many years in the capital of the West Qin Kingdom, no one dared to mention the name King Huai.
During the time of the first emperor, King Huai was the youngest brother of the first emperor and the current emperor's little uncle.
It's just that King Huai has acted too much since he was a child, and later he set his eyes on the supreme position, even intending to rebel, was discovered, and was imprisoned in the end, and he could not get out of it for the rest of his life.
The relationship between the first emperor and King Huai was very good, and because of this accident, the two became more and more strangers. After the first emperor ascended the throne, he really couldn't bear his little brother to live his life in such misery.
Sealed the fief of King Huai in a remote and desolate place, drove King Huai out of the capital, and escorted him to the fief. At the same time, he issued an imperial decree that King Huai and his family would never set foot in the capital.
If anyone dares to resist the order, they will all be punished as treason.
In the next few years, King Huai was nowhere to be seen, and later on, fewer and fewer people mentioned King Huai, but at this banquet, an old minister got drunk and slipped his words.
When King Huai was mentioned, the first emperor was furious and beat him thirty times. If it wasn't for an old minister, he would almost have taken off the black hat on his head.
After this incident, no one in Beijing dared to mention King Huai.
Although I didn't mention it, King Huai made a lot of noise back then, so some people still knew about King Huai.
Especially the concubines who came out of the harem.
Shen Xinyi already knew that something was wrong when the Queen Mother said "King Huai". Why did the Queen Mother know about such a hidden thing.
This is her Shen family's secret, something that even the late emperor and the emperor didn't find out, why did the Queen Mother know about it
Shen Xinyi could no longer maintain her indifference, and even trembled slightly.
He kept a long-term correspondence with the traitor, and even helped the traitor with food, grass and silver.
Then how should her Shen family deal with her
Shen Xinyi didn't even dare to think about it, she knelt down on the ground, her forehead hit the ground heavily, "The concubine doesn't know what the queen mother said, please be careful with the queen mother."
Tang Lihua nodded, and then turned her gaze back to Concubine Liang who was already trembling.
How could Concubine Liang be able to bear it? She originally thought that Shen Xinyi would join hands with her for the sake of the emperor's heir, to kill Concubine Ning and Concubine An's heir.
It's just that the hands and feet failed again and again, but Concubine Liang herself was killed and had a miscarriage.
Now that I think about it, I'm terrified.
If the Shen family and the traitor had secretly exchanged letters, Shen Xinyi might not only have wanted to harm Concubine Ning and Concubine An's children from the very beginning.
It turned out that from the very beginning, Shen Xinyi had planned herself into it, and it was Shen Xinyi's expectation that she would go through this life and death ordeal.
Concubine Liang's unstoppable trembling was because of fear and fear.
She was afraid that what she did would be known by the empress dowager, and she was even more afraid that she would seek skin from a tiger, if the Shen family really wanted to help the rebels in their rebellion.
Not only himself, but even the family behind him will be involved.
"Concubine Liang, if you confess, you will be lenient and resist strictness. The Ai family doesn't have much patience. If you keep concealing things now, you will be investigated and dealt with according to Concubine Shen." Tang Lihua threatened directly.
Of course Tang Lihua did what she said.
If it had been a battle in the harem, Concubine Liang would never admit it at this time, and the reason was very simple, if she did, she would be an accomplice and would definitely be punished.
But Concubine Liang dare not deny it now, the words of the Empress Dowager are too shocking, if anything is connected with treason, there will be no good end.
Concubine Liang didn't dare to gamble, let alone the whole family behind her.
Losing the bet is a step into the abyss, and she is not the only one stepping into the abyss.
"The empress dowager forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, the concubine was confused for a while and was bewitched by the noble concubine, please forgive the empress dowager and the emperor." Concubine Liang directly admitted her crime by kowtowing.
Now Concubine Liang is only glad that what she did before didn't really harm the emperor's heir, apart from the child in her womb, Concubine Ning and Concubine An's prince and princess are all fine.
Concubine Liang had already forgotten that the current fire was also caused by her cooperation.
Tang Lihua chuckled, "You know the current affairs. The concubine Liang deliberately murdered the emperor's heir. Although she failed, she committed a heinous crime. How to deal with it, I ask the emperor to decide."
Regarding these women in the harem, Tang Lihua didn't want to do anything.
The emperor has calmed down during the development of the matter, and he is also a smart person. Since the queen mother is so easy in this matter, the prince and princess should be fine.
This fire may have been expected by the queen mother.
Thinking of this, the emperor silently glanced at his mother, feeling very complicated.
"Mr. Xie is in a cocoon, has evil thoughts in her heart, and does not cooperate. She deprives her title and degrades to be a beloved man." The emperor directly ordered the concubine Liang, who was obviously panicked at this time, to step down.
Up to now, there is not a single lover in the harem, the nobleman is already the lowest position among the concubines, there are three noblemen, and the second is the concubine.
So Concubine Liang is now the first of its kind.
Concubine Liang was startled, and wanted to intercede again, but she looked up at the indifferent eyes of the king of God, thinking of what she had done, she dared not say a word.
"Thank you Lord Ron." In the end, all the bitterness, remorse, and pain in my heart turned into this sentence.
She planned to murder the emperor's heir. Although she was bewitched by others, she did have such thoughts. Now the emperor just lowered her position, which is already a great gift. If she asks for it, she may still provoke bored.
"Xie Liangren, tell the emperor about your plans with Concubine Shen in detail." Tang Lihua said again after the emperor set off.
Concubine Liang is Xie Qingwan's title, and now she is already a beloved person.
Xie Qingwan felt bitter in her heart, but she had to obey the queen mother's words.
Besides, Xie Qingwan is full of resentment towards Shen Xinyi now, if it wasn't for her, she wouldn't be in this situation.
The Shen family is daring, and Shen Xinyi has hidden evil intentions. The murder of the emperor's heir was not because of jealousy in the harem, but to seek great things for the rebels.
She hurt herself like this, how could Xie Qingwan cover it up for her.
In this way, she told everything in detail, when she and Shen Xinyi planned, and what they did.
The matter was also simple. Not long after Concubine Liang found out she was pregnant, Concubine Liang's personal maid was bribed by Shen Xinyi's people. How wonderful, how much the eldest son will be valued by the emperor.
After being brainwashed day after day, Concubine Liang really listened to it.
After Shen Xinyi tried again and again, the two gradually reached a consensus.
The image Shen Xinyi created in front of Concubine Liang was extremely paranoid towards the emperor. She didn't want other women to have the emperor's child better than her husband.
Hence this series of actions.
From the black dog to the concubine An's fetal gas, they were all written by Shen Xinyi.
And Concubine Liang did what she could do.
Those two things failed one after another, and then came today's matter.
It was also planned by the two of them early in the morning. Last night, she pretended to have her stomach mobilized, and then alarmed the queen and concubines.
The second day was the Concubine Conferment Ceremony, and all the queens watched the whole night, so they were inevitably tired and negligent, so it was easier to move if they all went to the Concubine Conferment Ceremony.
The two of them had already prepared the bowl of oxytocin, and when the time came, Concubine Liang pretended to have a dystocia and alarmed the Queen Mother after taking the oxytocin.
Then Concubine Shen would like to attack the prince.
It's just that Xie Qingwan never imagined that Shen Xinyi actually wanted to kill herself, and wanted to kill herself and die with dystocia.
After Xie Qingwan finished speaking, the field fell into deep silence.
To be honest, many people were shocked by Xie Qingwan's words.
Unexpectedly, they planned so much and planned so deeply that even the emperor's heir dared to murder him.
It's really courageous, and at the same time they thought of what the Queen Mother said, Qi Qi turned to the envoy Shen Xinyi for the realization.
Shen Xinyi's murder of the emperor's heir, if she succeeds today, although Xie Qingwan has saved her life, the child in her womb will be gone.
The eldest prince and princess in the prince's residence will also die in the flames.
What a vicious heart, everyone shudders when they think about it.
Looking at Shen Xinyi's eyes, they were all guarded.
No one would have thought that the emperor's favorite concubine, Shen Guifei, the only concubine in the harem who was treated differently by the emperor, would harbor such a big evil intention.
Shen Xinyi is not simple, and the Shen family behind her is definitely not simple.
"The emperor is at ease, the prince and princess are in Aijia's palace, everything is safe and sound." Tang Lihua seemed to remember this at this time, and spoke out to reassure the emperor.
The emperor was in a very complicated mood, his mind was always on top of the front, he did not expect so many things to happen in the harem without making a sound.
At the same time, the emperor felt a little lucky, it was because of his mother that such a tragic thing did not happen.
You know, if he loses three sons in one day.
If someone with a heart spreads it in the mouths of the common people, it may be passed on at that time. He has a lack of virtue and is not worthy of being an emperor.
"Thanks to having a queen mother." The emperor's words came from the heart.
Tang Lihua smiled, "You and I are mother and son. Aijia should be doing what he should. The emperor worries about state affairs day and night, and Aijia can only manage the harem properly, so as not to make the emperor worry about it."
After hearing these words, the emperor was even more moved.
In fact, Tang Lihua began to suspect Concubine Shen a long time ago. It was Tang Lihua who went to look for the plot in the novel again, only to see the information she had missed before.
The heroine's surname is Shen, and the book says she is an orphan, but from time to time, the heroine's upbringing is mentioned, as if she came out of everyone.
In the novel, in the end, it was the common people who couldn't see the emperor pampering the queen mother, so they got entangled with a group of reckless people, attacked the imperial city, and the person who finally ascended to the throne was the son of the rebel King Huai from the previous dynasty.
In the novel, the emperor's harem was finally condemned to the nunnery.
Except for Concubine Shen, because the new emperor felt that Prime Minister Shen was capable, he had just ascended the throne and needed the support of veteran officials, so at Prime Minister Shen's request, the new emperor let Shen Xinyi go back to the Shen family.
In the end, Shen Xinyi got married again and lived a comfortable life.
Just because there was an extra mention in the novel, Tang Lihua felt a little suspicious when she saw this, and then during the investigation, she connected the male lead, the female lead, Shen Xinyi, the Shen family, and King Huai together.
And Tang Lihua also found out an interesting thing.
It was Shen Xinyi's youngest sister. Because she was sick and weak, she was raised in the countryside. Relying on the idea of not letting her go, Tang Lihua sent someone to check on Shen Xinyi's sister.
Then I found out that her little sister had a nickname, Ruan Ruan.
Ruan Ruan is the intimate name the male lead calls the female lead when he is in private.
